Ted Kirkpatrick Drums solo

[nobunagaspectre]

Always great to see Christians not taking the easy way out and just singing about all the cliches and throwing the music out the window, Tourniquet is great at sticking to the message but with an equal focus on fantastic musicianship

[blackbeast79]

i use to have this video!

[MonsterMashKiller]

i wanna have a last name Kirkpatrick! that's awesome!

[awesomesteve]

Not only is he one of the best, but he plays left fuckin handed

[NickolausPacione]

A left handed drummer is very rare. I was blown away when I saw them live in 1996. He's almost faster than Dave Lombardo.

[shadowheart84]

God has truly gifted that man!!!!

[IronSovietFist]

oops posted twice sorry

[IronSovietFist]

lol his evil counter part is david lombardo of slayer lolz...

[NickolausPacione]

He's just as fast. Lombardo is a little faster. Ted composes all the drum parts first then he goes and writes the guitar work. He'd a good guitarist too as Charlie from Anthrax is too surprising enough.

[IronSovietFist]

lol hes so good i would consider dave lombardo(slayer) to be his evil counter part

[CrimsonThornFan]

Ted rules. Love his sound.

Some other good drummers that people need to look up:

Flo Mounier

Mike Portnoy

Mike Mangini

Buddy Rich

Niel Peart

...Just to name only a few

[jericho4004]

How about Stuart Copeland from The Police?

[ShaliakhYeshai]

All great drummers but after seeing Mike, Ted and neil, one must ask "buddy who?"

[zaorulesmetal]

You motherfucker, Buddy Rich is better than anyone else on that list, anyone will tell you. You shut your blasphemous mouth right now. Yes I'm touchy, and I'm also half kidding, lol.

[GuitarLoverX]

The Rev from Avenged Sevenfold rules too.

[Shockheadd45]

Brann Dailor, Away, Lars Ulrich, Igor Cavalera, Chris Adler, Sheila E. (To me, she is one of the best female drummers ever)

Man, if Dave Lombardo met Ted, lol. They would literally be the quintessential yin-yang twins of Thrash Metal, lol. Ted's Christian, Dave's Atheist, but they both play very kick-ass music in perfect synchronized way. I bet they'd be great friends, lol. Can anyone imagine Slayer and Tourniquet LIVE, AND TOURING TOGETHER??? That would be one of my Metal concert fantasies!

[JonasBrosMustDie]

U think lars is overrated?

[warriormole]

Very much so, Ted would kill him in a battle, one-handed...

[Shockheadd45]

FUCK DAMN RIGHT DUDE. Everytime I hear One, I think to myself "WTF? WAS SO GREAT ABOUT THAT 7 DB note machinegun drumming part??" He isn't the best fucking drummer in the world. Dave Lombardo actually deserve more credit than Lars does. Most of the time, his drum beats aren't even fast enough to at least try and catch up the speedy rhythms of the guitars and bass, and Lars always is one step behind them, except on MOP, and AJFA. Those albums have his best drumming rudiments and talent to me.

[whitewelder]

@JonasBrosMustDie waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, overrated. In fact, the only good musician in Metallica is Kirk.

[trixsea]

WOW!love this post, that guy is AMAZING! do these guys play shows anymore?

[aronferenczy]

Yeah, they do! Probably going to see them in April!

[Codewarrior4608]

Serious guys if you could hear the actual solo his double bass time along with the many off time elements in his playing, he truely is one of he best drummers out there.

[laXaspinafre]

lokíssimooo

toca dmais o cara

=]

[pioten]

Yeah Ted! I love Tourniquet.

[MattHatter]

Awwww, the "Psycho Surgery" days! "Psycho Surgery" was the first Christian thrash metal song I ever heard back in 1991 as a freshman in high school. Ted Kirkpatrick is the bomb on the skins.

[dogmaster05]

That is so cool. You don't see to many solos with that time signature. The last part with the crashes is sick too. Thanx for posting!
